What a difference a year makes. The mood of outright buoyancy at this year’s Annual Conference of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World was a far cry from last year’s melancholy. To say the least, it was extremely heartening to hear so much optimism being expressed by the world’s leading brokers, who are finally seeing the early stages of recovery in their respective markets. For those of us in attendance from Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, such universal optimism made us feel that much more confident about the speed of our own recovery; as many of their recovering markets feed buyers into ours.
With Michael and Drayton leading the company’s contingent, we were several representatives strong at last week’s Leading RE conference, where time and again Michael Saunders & Company received kudos for helping establish a template for recovery that other markets could use. Indeed, because Southwest Florida was hit early and hard by the nationwide housing crisis, its recovery has been a source of inspiration for many of the conference attendees. Moreover, many of the strategies we used to help force our own recovery are now being used in markets across the U.S. For example, the “Best Opportunities” section of michaelsaunders.com—which was established two years ago to shine a well-deserved spotlight on our sellers’ most aggressively-priced listings—is now being implemented in at least 20 other markets. At the same time we learned about best practices in other markets which, when applied here, could add fuel to our own recovery.
Therein lies the principal benefit of having so many hand-picked friends in the worldwide real estate business. At the end of the day, the perspectives we share freely with one another at these important industry gatherings help all of us make the most out of these perilous economic times.
